While stitching a cut on the hand of a 75 year old farmer, whose hand was
caught in the squeeze gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a
conversation with the old man.
Eventually the topic got around to politicians and their role as our leaders.
The old farmer said, "Well, as I see it, most politicians are 'Post Turtles'.'
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post
turtle' is.
The old farmer said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come
across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post
turtle."
The old farmer saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to
explain. “You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up
there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, he's elevated beyond
his ability to function,and you just wonder what kind of dumb arse put him
up there to begin with.
Best explanation of a politician I've ever heard.
